> [@](#): > > The closure of the firm ends a law firm that was started decades ago by Marvin Baum, a respected real estate attorney, who was an active author and speaker on real estate law and foreclosures, and was a past chairman of the Real Property Law Section of the state Bar Association. Steven Baum joined the firm in 1986. His father died in 1999, and the firm changed its name shortly afterwards. Baum created Pillar Processing later. > [@MOIDALIZE](#): > > Why does this not surprise me? Born on third base; thinks he hit a triple; tried to steal home and fell flat on his ass before taking three steps. ---

Is it cruel to wish Mr Baum is heavily mortgaged and ends up losing his house over this? Oh please let it be so… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/foreclosure-mill-law-firm-hosts-homeless-themed-party/601251.md?page=7)
